WEEK 6
At this week's rehearsal there was a definite chill in the outside air but it was the usual warm atmosphere in the school hall. Here's a little video clip of our warmup this week - and, no, we're not doing the Hokey Cokey!
Warmup exercise 10 Oct
THE SONGS
We ran through My Favourite Things, You've Got A Friend and What's Up?.
We spent some time learning the percussion part of What Happens When a Woman, by Alexandra Olsavsky as well as the different vocal sections of the song. The percussion and song practice clips are in the Lyric and Audio Library.
